Sources

Links to sources used to research specific people, places and events contained each volume of the Descendants of Robert Muir follow. They are primarily database records, documents, maps, images and photographs and ephemera from my personal collection.

Sources for Volume I: Descendants of Robert Muir and his wife, Henrietta Brown, and their daughter Elizabeth (Muir) Cassels (c1829-1863) and her husband, Matthew Cassels

Sources for Volume II: Descendants of Martha Muir (1830-1876) and her husband, John Riddell

The following are sources of a more general nature that I used in my research about the family.
